MB that was the part I hated on doing alterations too! and letting out darts and pleats. Lady gains 20 lbs., has had the dress for years and thinks those stitching lines are not going to still show. Frustrating to say the least.
Brat just have your vet papers with you to show the new vet when they are due. Who on earth is going to stop you and ask for those papers? If they are current on shots, they are current. You won't go through customs anywhere. Highway Patrol is just going to issue a ticket if you drive to fast, don't think you have to worry about that with Steve behind the wheel. Think your Californians are trying to scare you, like they told you Wyoming getting 60 below all winter and blowing dust all summer. All a bunch of bull. Quit fretting please, remember the word "Believe"
On another note I have not heard from my partner. Her little runner is just hanging here waiting to be sent.
